Nerf bar question

[Riser]

I am debating getting nerf bars since the wife has trouble getting into my truck. If I were to hit something solid with the nerf bar, could it do damage to the frame body? I have read that sliders are the way to go, since they can support the weight of the vehicle, but we only do light off-roading. (trails, hills, snow lol)

I suppose if you hit hard enough anything is possible. If you only do light offroading I wouldn't worry about it. Nerf bars are there as a step assist/add looks to the vehicle. If you see more aggressive offroqding in your future then get the correct gear now (sliders).
